Pastel Sunrise

Inyo Mountains, CA, USA

Admittedly, when I setup to photograph the sunrise that morning the Inyo Mountains was certainly not my intended subject. Rather my camera was focused west toward the dramatic eastern slope of the Sierra Nevada Mountains. However, one should remember to always look around as the drama could be unfolding behind you; such was the case that morning. I love the pastel colors in the sky and the deep shadows on the mountains. Nikon D800, 24-70mm lens, F11, 1 sec, ISO 100
